No thread, the installation kit had instructions. The hardest part was drilling the half inch hole through the pillar.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

My C30 came home today. I got my panel lined up to put it back on the rebuilt chassis (been done for years finally getting back on it). Tucked away my 72 K20 and 72 C10 burbs, probably never to be seen again haha! I also moved a ton of parts in to deep storage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Heh, nothing. But I did put a couple of PVC pipe target frames that I assembled to use at our "local" gun range into the back of the truck. They were in the way, in the garage. Our "local" gun range now requires us to buy the frames, because of the cabrona virus. We have enough PVC pipe around to make our own.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Whew ! Glad I'm done with this step!
I installed the after market grille and hung the front bumper.
I remember reading some forum posts about this install!
I was warned about the sharp edges, loosening up the fenders a tad and some massaging.
Only needed one band-aid

Thanks Mark,
Can you see what's still missing and needs to be installed?
Something you helped me with awhile back?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Looks good, how long it lasts will depend on how much it's driven. I hope it wears of fast because you will enjoy driving it......

Well I can check this off the list
Finally got my windshield with stainless trim installed yesterday.
I was lucky to find a knowledgeable C10 glass installer and got to watch, learn and help out a little.
It came out beautiful.

Thanks to board member CG for the windshield trim.
Thanks again Mark!

That looks great, who did the windshield for you and did he supply the glass?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Since I procrastinated on this windshield, I had called Tahoma Glass to set up my appointment.
Turns out Tahoma Glass, a long time top rated glass shop for all Classic vehicles in my area has closed his doors and retired.
However they did answer their phone and recommended a local glass installer, Jakes Glass LLC.
Jake has installed many trimmed windshields on C10’s and has his method down a little different than I have seen on some installation videos.
Jake supplied the Precision gasket and the Furyuro (sp?) windshield.
Him and his assistant had the job done in under 2 hours.
I recommend him and his work.
Jake has an Instagram account.
Jakes Glass LLC.
Ph.# 253-666-2661

Happy 4th!

I went to the annual Cluster Busters 4th of July show and was lucky enough to bring home some "hardware"
